Venezuela announced it reached an agreement on Saturday with the United States to resume repatriation flights of migrants, according to a statement from the country's Parliament President Jorge Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said the flights would start on Sunday.

"Migrating isn't a crime, and we won't rest until everyone who wants to return is back and we rescue our kidnapped brothers in El Salvador," the statement said.

I am simply beyond outrage. Watching these men with their heads shaved, chained so they are unable to stand, obviously mistreated without any due process of law!
The question is not just "Who are they?" but also, "Who are we?"
